Cervix
The cervix is also known as the neck of the womb. It is found at the top of a woman’s vagina, and is the entrance to the uterus, which contains the baby during pregnancy. The cervix is examined during a smear test, and cervix cells taken for analysis (this is not painful and does not cause any harm). If abnormal cells are found on a smear test this does not necessarily mean that cervical cancer is present
